Season lowers TCO and increases conversion rate by ditching Magento for Shopify

Lower total cost of ownership (and stress)

Shopify often beats Magento with a lower total cost of ownership as a lot of the development effort is rolled up into the monthly Shopify subscription.

23% increase in conversion rate at re-launch

Our Shopify migrations typically deliver increased conversion rates from aggregated gains from home, collection, product, basket and checkout pages.

New website reflects the brand's ambitions

Our clean, modern designs helped to showcase the amazing product ranges Season offers. It's also built to allow rapid, low-effort changes so it's fit for the future.

Brand Overview

Season is an independent group of cooks, chefs, cookshops and cook schools aiming to make dining to home more of a pleasure.

The business sells its curated range of cookware and homeware across four London stores and a thriving online shop.

Key Challenges

Season was running its online store on an outdated version of Magento. They were considering whether to take a large one-time cost to upgrade the current platform or consider Shopify as its long-term partner.

They also had several frustrations with Magento with security management headaches and time / cost to make time-bound updates to the site.

Our Process

After we’d executed our full discovery process with Season, we were happy to recommend Shopify as a compelling alternative.
Our discovery process identified a TCO saving of approximately 40%, even after considering the migration project.

Our UX analysis also showed a high probability of a significant increase in conversion rates. The research for this includes looking at GA4 conversion data and screen recordings of customer journeys, so we had a high degree of confidence in this outcome.

Once Season decided to go ahead, our kick-off process began, researching customers, competitors and the market. From here, we planned the sitemaps and wireframes to ensure a seamless customer journey and the best SEO set-up.

Next came our research-based design process using Figma as our tool of choice and finally into the build. This included creating a custom app to help manage inventory across multiple locations.
